Trees are blossoming, grass is greening and there is an overwhelming feeling of hope as our nation comes out of hibernation after a year of living socially distanced. Many states are loosening restrictions on restaurants and social gatherings. Weddings that were postponed due to the pandemic are now rescheduled and happening! Spring is the season for the time honored tradition of “showering” the bride-to-be or couple-to-be with special and useful gifts ahead of summer weddings.
We think the nicest shower and wedding gifts honor the couple with their monogram or married name. Traditionally, serving pieces feature the wife’s monogram while barware displays the husband’s initials. These days more and more couples choose a modern monogram which combines the couple’s first name initials with the initial of their married last name. The wife’s first name initial is on the left, the married last name initial is in the middle and typically larger and the husband’s first name initial is on the right.
